WELCOMEKia Ora

It is my great pleasure, on behalf of Auckland University of Technology, to welcome you the 4th World Journalism Congress, 2016. I am especially delighted to welcome our international guests who have come here from 43 different countries – from as far away as Mongolia and Ghana. I am equally pleased to welcome some of our close neighbours from Asia and the Pacific and to acknowledge the support of AUT’s Pacific Media Centre in bringing a group of these guests to Auckland.

The theme of this year’s conference ‘Identity and Integrity in Journalism Education’ has proved to be an excellent catalyst, attracting a great response. As a result the congress offers a broad programme which gives deep insight into contemporary developments in journalism education and the shifts in journalism programmes internationally. We are grateful to all of our contributors for sharing their research and experiences with us. As well as the formal presentations, the congress offers delegates the opportunity to network and to exchange their ideas and good practice. We hope that you find your time to be entertained too – please take time to enjoy the social events and breaks.

I would like to acknowledge our committee members for their commitment and also, all the people who have worked so hard on every aspect of the organisation. I would especially like to thank Associate Professor Verica Rupar for the tremendous work she has done collaborating with our international partners and our national and local partners and sponsors. She has been a magnificent leader and organiser.

I hope you enjoy the conference. Speak to old friends and make some new ones!

Dear friends and colleagues,It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 4th World Journalism Education Congress!

The 2016 WJEC programme is an exciting combination of 16 panels, 10 syndicates, 46 paper sessions, 4 poster sessions, 2 workshops and a number of special events – all aimed to address the pressing issues of journalism and journalism education today. The programme offers a range of fascinating subjects for discussion from journalism ethics, twittering and facebooking, informed citizenry, transmedia, surveillance, community engagement, and mobile media, to more specific topics about journalism, journalism research and education in Africa, Asia, the Pacific, Europe, South and North America, Australia and New Zealand. We look forward to three stimulating days.

This is a landmark for all involved in the organisation of the 4th WJEC. The Council team led by Joe Foote, whose perceptive questions and advice have turned a laborious organisation process into a journey into the heart of the journalism discipline, included Elanie Stein, Robyn Goodman and Ian Richards – all forming a virtual leadership team that worked without a glitch.

The Trans Tasman support has been tremendous. Special thanks to Angela Romano (JERAA) and Grant Hannis (JEANZ) for being with AUT from day one.

The AUT team – Desna Jury, Alan Cocker, Geoffrey Craig, David Robie, Helen Sissons, Richard Pamatatau, Greg Treadwell, Allan Lee, Allison Oosterman, Lyn Barnes, Danni Mulrennan, Bridget Galvin, Merja Myllylahti, Sara Vui Talitu, Edelita Clark, Farzana Alladin, Glen Bailey, Himanshu Sheogaonkar - worked hard over the last two years to make the 4th WJEC a success.

Enormous gratitude to Trish Carter for the work put into various aspects of the organisation and most of all the encouragement she has given the Steering Committee when we needed help the most.

The team worked with passion and enthusiasm, and hoped that our distance from much of the rest of the world would not dissuade people from attending. Luckily that did not happen and you, along with more than 200 other people, will be taking part in the congress. So thank you for venturing to New Zealand and for participating in the conference. I hope you will enjoy both the congress and our wonderful country!

Verica Rupar Chair of the Steering Committee 4th WJEC

Panel 2: 21st century ethical issues in journalism WG404

This panel explores the ethics of journalism in an environment where journalistic authority is diminished and new relationships with news publics are being sought. The speakers, drawing on a range of philosophical positions, will explore arguments around journalistic independence, engagement with the public good, transparency and sincerity. In doing so, the panel members will trace some of the major fault lines in contemporary journalism ethics around truth-telling and accountability and assess ways through which journalists can morally justify their work.

Panel 3: Where do we teach journalism? An exploration of journalism education in academic disciplines and structures around the world WA224A

For most institutions in the United States, journalism began in English departments. As the profession gained influence, journalism programs broke free and became their own programs, often developing into their own departments and, in many cases, schools or colleges. Now, as journalism is transforming from traditional platforms to multimedia storytelling and universities are attempting to be more efficient with less public funding (at least in the United States), journalism programs have gone through academic restructuring at several institutions. This panel provides a broad discussion of the factors across the globe that lead to where we teach journalism and explores the ideal academic environment for best practices in journalism education.

Paul Voakes, University of Colorado Boulder (US)

Trevor Cullen, Edith Cowan University (Australia)

Karin Wahl Jorgensen, Cardiff University (UK)

Ralph Akinfeleye, University of Lagos (Nigeria)

Panel 4: Teaching hospital WA224B

This panel is focused on the teaching model hospital of journalism education. Turning a classroom into a newsroom creates professional-led journalism experience for students. Is it sustainable, do universities have enough resources to support truly converged newsrooms, how it relates to community, what models of producing professional outlets are possible to develop?

Chair: Katherine Reed, Missouri School of Journalism (United States)

Media Perceptions of the European Union

WG126

The panelists will examine the media perceptions of the European Union (EU) – comparing the portrayals of British media and New Zealand media. Focusing on the Brexit debate as a case study, they will point out the positive and negative images of the EU that have emerged through the debate, as well as the pull of emotionality. They will also analyze the impact that social media has had on how media reports on the EU. Overall, they will highlight competing narratives about the EU and means to address exiting misperceptions.

Speakers: Karin Wahl Jorgensen (Cardiff University, UK)

Teaching journalism for mobile platforms

WG607

Expert: Danni Mulrennan, Auckland University of Technology (AUT), NZ

Chair: Agnes Gulyas, Canterbury Christ Church University, UK

Rapporteur: David Baines, Newcastle University, UK

Mobile platforms are changing the way journalism professionals capture, curate and distribute information. Journalism schools are under pressure to respond to the explosive rise in mobile technology. Revised teaching methods need to reflect this change. Journalism educators should teach students to be conversant with mobile technology when gathering, processing and distributing information. They need to revise content, adjust teaching methods and ultimately update curricula to achieve this goal.

The question: How do journalism educators revise curricula to effectively prepare students for the reality of mobile technology while maintaining the fundamentals of journalism education?

13.00-14.00 SPECIAL EVENT 14.00-15.30 SYNDICATES

WG608

Expert: Margaret van Heekeren, Charles Sturt University, AU

Chair: Mary Lynn Young, University of British Columbia, CA

Rapporteur: Denise Ryan-Costello, Swinburne University, AU

Accuracy, alongside its siblings, brevity and clarity, is a time-honored journalistic principle. While all three remain fundamental to journalism practice and education, accuracy has gained prominence in recent years as the core of the burgeoning fact-checking movement. Fact-checking and verification have now merged into their own journalism genre, taking advantage of digitally available information to evaluate and authenticate political claims and public statements. Almost 100 websites worldwide are dedicated to this new form of journalism. The onus is now on journalism educators to teach accuracy through a more intensive examination of facts, requiring enhanced research and data manipulation capabilities.

The question: What research and data skills should journalism schools teach students for successful entry into fact-checking/verification journalism?


WG609

Expert: John Murphy, University of Hertfordshire, UK

Chair: Kate Kartveit, Denmarks Medie-og Journalisthojskole, DK

Rapporteur: Epp Lauk, University of Jyvaskyla, FI

One of the biggest challenges for most journalism educators is that their students are social media natives. They know more about social media than their professors. However, this means journalism educators have an opportunity to exploit students’ prior knowledge and high-interest level in order to teach them how to use social media as a journalistic information gathering and distribution tool.

The question: What opportunities do social media platforms offer media professionals related to gathering and distributing information, and how can we best teach them?

18

Journalism education programs’ responses to quality control for/in journalism education WG701

Expert: Joe Foote, University of Oklahoma, USA

Chair: Felix Wao, University of Oklahoma, USA

Rapporteur: Silvia Pellegrini, Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chille, CL

Education stakeholders (students, parents, governments and donors) are increasingly demanding proof that educational programs are effective and high quality. This syndicate explores three ways that journalism education programs are responding to this challenge: by examining how different role players measure quality globally and the effectiveness of industry accreditation, peer accreditation and government oversight as assessment tools.

The question: Which quality control system is gaining momentum, and which best fits the particular needs of journalism education worldwide?

Internships as a way to prepare students for the profession: benefits and challenges WG703

Expert: Lorraine Branham, Syracuse University, USA

Chair: Nadia Vissers, Artesis Plantijn Hogeschool Antwerpen, BE

Rapporteur: Barbara Gainey, Kennesaw State University, USA

Experiential learning, better known as internships, is essential for students in today’s competitive job market. They set students apart from their peers and may pave the way to meaningful employment after graduation by providing networking opportunities, exposing students to professional environments and complementing students’ classroom learning. However, many schools hesitate to require internships because of the challenge to ensure internships for all students, the problem of compensation, the lack of time/resources to properly oversee them, their often uneven quality, etc.

The question: How can journalism schools and the industry best collaborate to provide students with the benefits of experiential learning while addressing the challenges associated with such opportunities?

19

Teaching hospitals: the challenge to meet modern-day demands while teaching journalism fundamentals WG801

Expert: Katherine Reed, University of Missouri, USA

Chair: Elanie Steyn, University of Oklahoma, USA

Rapporteur: Daniel McDonald, Oklahoma State University, USA

Journalism schools are increasingly striving to create teaching environments that plunge students into real-life journalism activities. Some of these experiments take a project approach in which students, under faculty guidance, address a specific need. Others aspire to more broadly serve a community with daily news and information, as community newspapers have done for years. As technology increasingly influences how news is created, delivered and consumed, faculty are challenged to meet cutting-edge demands while still teaching journalism fundamentals.

The question: How do journalism faculty meet pressing industry and community demands while still teaching journalism fundamentals?

Relevant issues in developing inclusive journalism curricula WG803

Expert: Milica Pesic, Media Diversity Institute & Westminister University, UK

Chair: Verica Rupar, AUT, NZ

Rapporteur: Greg Treadwell, AUT, NZ

We live in a time in which a potential U.S. president is insulting women, Latinos, Muslims and others. One in which ISIS uses all possible means to get media attention, a Russian citizen is looked at with suspicion simply because Putin is her president, where criticism of Netanyahu or the Israeli state is easily seen as anti-Semitism and Muslims are often seen as terrorists. The need for new thinking on how to prepare future journalists to reflect political, social and cultural diversity issues and to provide informed and inclusive debate on these topics is more relevant than ever. This syndicate will explore issues relevant for development of inclusive journalism curricula.

The question: How do journalism educators develop students’ awareness and sensitivity toward diversity and inclusion and work such factors into new, improved curricula?

20

Encouraging community engagement as journalism students prepare for a changing profession WG808

Expert: Tara Ross, Canterbury University, NZ

Chair: Don Heider, University of Loyola, Chicago, USA

Rapporteur: Imran Hasnat, University of Oklahoma, USA

Journalists’ success depends on establishing relationships with the people they serve. However, this is tough to achieve as social platforms change how people connect with news and audience attention becomes shorter and more diffused. Future journalists will need to work harder to build strong connections with their communities, especially those previously ignored and/or less likely to participate online. Journalism educators must therefore teach future journalists to effectively engage both offline and online, listen and build relationships and conduct deeper conversations with communities and loyal audiences alike. To achieve these goals, journalism educators will need to re-examine traditional ideas about journalists’ responsibilities and their role as outside observers.

The question: What should journalism educators teach future journalists to help them engage, through meaningful, ongoing relationships, with the communities they serve?

De-Westernizing journalism education in an era of new media genres and communication technologies WG809

Expert: Yusuf Kalyango Jr., Ohio University, USA

Chair: Jing (Cynthia) Xin, Central China Normal University, CN

Rapporteur: Bernie Whelan, Whitireia, New Zealand

Over past decades, traditional journalism education took place through the prevailing Western (European and North American) lens. With the emergence of new media genres and communication technologies, the era of Western-centric journalism education is under intensified scrutiny. In light of how globalization is changing information societies (netizens, bloggers, etc.) as well as the media ecology, this syndicate will consider ways journalism educators can de-Westernize journalism education.

The question: How can we teach future journalists to avoid a Western orientation in their news coverage, and how can we build journalism curricula to accomplish this goal?

21

Teaching transmedia storytelling to create a unified experience WG902

Expert: Mindy McAdams, University of Florida, USA

Chair: Stijn Postema, Napier University, UK

Rapporteur: Kathryn Bowd, The University of Adelaide, AU

“Transmedia storytelling represents a process where integral elements of a fiction get dispersed systematically across multiple delivery channels for the purpose of creating a unified and coordinated entertainment experience. Ideally, each medium makes it own unique contribution to the unfolding of the story.” —Henry Jenkins.

Jenkins (2006) describes how the story told in the Matrix trilogy was expanded in comic books, video games and animated short films. The main point was not simply that the creators use multiple mediums, but rather that some parts of the story were left out of the movies altogether and told only in other media products. Moreover, the film’s directors deliberately implemented this strategy.

The question: How can we inspire and teach future journalists to effectively experiment with telling various parts of a story across multiple mediums and different platforms?

Panel 2: The journalistic imagination and the future of research: Understanding the networked public sphere WG404

The field of journalism research has a rapidly shifting object of study in the news eco-system. In this keynote presentation I argue that the “journalistic imagination” provides an increasingly valuable guide to understanding this networked public sphere. With a nod to C. Wright Mills and his defense of the “sociological imagination,” I define the journalistic version as guiding a kind of scholarly outlook on the social world, characterized by natural curiosity beyond a media or technology-centric view to the whole of society, using a variety of methods of investigation, and with deep normative concerns for the healthy functioning of democratic life. I consider some of the conceptual and methodological challenges in studying journalistic practice, often observed with difficulty in “screenwork,” distributed globally across networked professionals and citizens, and rooted in algorithms and other computational forms. Examples from new conceptualizations of gatekeeping and my own recent work in China round out this brief tour of the provocative research questions raised by the new world of journalism.

Panel 3: Journalism education and an informed citizenry WA224A

Paradoxically, journalism now has a challenging role informing citizens in a world awash with information. Equally, citizens have the potential to be more informed and also engage with journalists more so than ever before. A diversity of publics seeks to have their voices heard and to be understood. In these ways, traditional assumptions about the roles of journalism in facilitating an informed citizenry need to be reconsidered. As journalism educators, how should we conceive of ‘the citizenry’ and what does it mean to be ‘informed’?

Panel 4: Twittering, Facebooking, Snapchat: journalism education under the Periscop WA224B

Journalism has seen a rapid uptake of mobile social media. In fact mobile technologies relevant to the journalism and news sectors have had a significant impact on the philosophies, and therefore the operations of news media organisations worldwide. These are now fragmenting and redefining themselves, while their journalists’ professional roles have migrated from that of being gatekeepers of news, to becoming participants of a wider news conversation more in the role of co-creators. The realities of the changing news environment naturally affect the academy as it struggles to find the most effective ways to educate and lead the emerging generation of journalists.

The objective of this panel is to address the question what strategies can ensure journalism curricula remain agile enough to be relevant and ideally influential in what are revolutionary times.

Panel 1: Post-COP21 – Journalism education in Asia-Pacific: Responding to key issues on climate change WG126

Leading up to COP21 Paris, there was overwhelming scientific consensus that climate change is happening, and human-induced. With global warming on the increase and species and their habitats on the decrease, chances for ecosystems to adapt naturally are diminishing. But what did COP21 actually achieve? Given that climate change may be one of the greatest threats facing the planet and where the impact will be particularly strong in the Asia-Pacific region, especially the microstates of the Pacific, what is the role of the media and media education in the region? Are Asian journalism schools giving enough emphasis to this issue? How should things be done differently? How are media programmes keeping up with science? Is enough attention being paid to the human rights issues involved and the status of “climate change refugees” has not yet been resolved? What are the key challenges for journalism education and the best strategies in dealing with this issue?

Panel 2: Towards a new model for journalism education WG404

Traditional media have adapted fitfully to the collision of technology and media. Journalism schools as a group may have been even slower to react to the huge shifts in the craft and its business practices. Only recently have they embraced digital technologies in their work with students who plan to enter traditional media. Too few are helping students understand that they may well have to invent their own jobs, much less helping them do so. Yet journalism education could and should have a long and even prosperous future—if educators make some fundamental shifts, recognizing the realities of the 21st century

Speaker: Dan Gillmor, Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication (US)

Panel 4: Journalism and civic sphere Europe House WO16

Today a number of global trends and endemic conflicts position journalists in harm’s way. This includes, when reporting on repressive states and warring states, criminal gangs and warlords, venal corporations and transnational terrorists - all of whom can violently disregard human rights and deliberately waste human lives. Journalism and journalists navigate their way through these proliferating crises and conflicts as best they can and there are a number of deep-seated historical trends that compel them to do so. This single-speaker panel sets out to situate how journalism variously gives expression to wider historical trends and shifts in human sensibility and how, in globalizing times, this can sometimes progressively ‘expand the human circle.’ These forms of reporting too often overlooked in the academic field are variously inscribed with an ‘injunction to care’ and incorporate those positioned in jeopardy who deserve and now rightly demand, wider recognition and world response.

Speaker: Simon Cottle, Cardiff University (United Kingdom)

Panel 1: Journalism education in the South Pacific – the new advocacy era WG126

For years, journalism education and training in the Pacific has relied on donor-funded short courses and expatriate media educators. But in recent times, this has been changing with the growth of more journalism schools at both universities and technical institutes and more homegrown academically qualified staff and proliferating research programmes. These changes have been reflected with the establishment of the new advocacy group Media Educators Pacific (MeP) chaired by Misa Vicky Lepou of the National University of Samoa (NUS). This body has a mission to “promote and deliver the highest professional standards of training, education and research in media and journalism relevant to the Pacific and beyond”. In a region, where the news media and journalism education have been forced to confront major hurdles such as military coups (Fiji), ethnic conflict (Solomon Islands) and two rival governments (Papua New Guinea), along with critical development issues such as climate change and resources degradation, what are the challenges ahead for teaching journalists? Some of the issues that might be considered:

» Academic freedom in a journalism context

» Political pressures on journalism schools

» Ethics in news media and on campus – the paradoxes?

» Bias in the industry work place

» Court reporting and journalism accuracy

» Digital challenges for media education

» Media education and censorship

» Qualification and resource constraints at both TVETs and universities

» Drain of quality j-graduates to NGOs because of low industry pay

Panel 2: Source protection in the digital age WG404

This panel draws on research covering 121 countries undertaken by the lead author for the UNESCO-commissioned study ‘Protecting Journalism Sources in the Digital Age’. The study, which examines developments in the realm of international legal source protection frameworks from 2007-2015, represents a global benchmarking of journalistic source protection in the digital era. This panel explores the study’s findings and addresses the significant implications for journalism education and training flowing from the research, as they pertain to the development of digital safety skills and risk awareness among journalism students and practitioners internationally.

Panel 3: Reporting trauma and suicide WA224A

This panel of academics, educators and a psychologist will present current research, and models of preparing journalism students for covering trauma, suicide and mental health issues. Drawing upon research done by the Australian Mindframe National Media Initiative managed by the Hunter Institute of Mental Health and the Dart Centre for Trauma and Journalism, the panel will provide frameworks to enhance understanding of the potentially distressing nature of reporting, the importance of teaching self-awareness, and helping students improve emotional intelligence while at the same time outlining different Australian and US models of ensuring students are prepared to cope with the stress of the profession.

Panel 4: Distance learning: New opportunities for journalism education WA224B

This panel will focus on the impact of the internet on journalism education, from the perspectives of academics and journalists. Universities around the world have been adopting instructional technologies to improve their face-to-face classes, as well as experimenting with online courses, such as MOOCs (massive open online courses) and other modalities of distance learning. Newsrooms have also faced the challenge of training their journalists in the use of the latest technologies and in the understanding of the new media ecosystem transformed by the digital revolution.

Instructor:

Cait McMahon, Dart Centre Asia Pacific, Australia

This workshop will cover three major aspects of trauma reporting –

» Teaching ethical interviewing of traumatized subjects

» Teaching student self-care in the face of trauma reporting

» Mitigating trauma effects when students are on internships

Educators will learn practical techniques of teaching ethical interviewing of traumatized subjects using the Dart Centre DVD – ‘Getting it right’. This aspect of the workshop will combine best practice trauma knowledge with ethical interview strategies for student journalists.

The self-care component of the workshop will assist educators to teach the importance of self-care and how to encourage students to develop a self-care plan when in the field.

Finally, the Dart Centre has developed a tip-sheet for educators over-seeing students on internships. This aspect of the workshop will review these tips and build on then further by calling on the expertise and experience of educators in the room. This will give opportunity for discussion and brainstorming of issues experienced by educators.
